Relevant Information:

Similar looking to S.
decorus with the fine spotted head but has a spotted
caudal fin instead of stripes and also lacks the extended dorsal
fin. This could be a cross between S.
decorus and S. nummifer
but this is purely conjecture as a Lake Tanganyika
species could also be in the mix, but decorus certainly
looks like one of the partners. Similar to SC011
which has a lighter body colour. Remarks: We
have decided to label each alleged 'hybrid' or unknown Synodontis
species with SC numbers (ScotCat numbers) to identify each species
exclusive to the ScotCat website.
